Read the excerpt from "pakistan’s malala.” malala looks the same today at 14, as she did at 11, like a child. but with each interview she gave to pakistani and international reporters between 2009 and 2012, she sounded more like an adult. based on this excerpt, how did the interviews affect malla? she started looking older than her age. she became older sounding and acting. she changed the style of her dress. she grew taller and more woman-like.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
